摘要: Using CHIP (Chinese Household Income Project) survey data, this study analyzes the effects of minimum wage (MW) policy on wage distribution in urban China from 1993 to2013. Several major conclusions emerged from this study. First, the MW levels affected both the average wage and wage levels for low-wage groups in these three periods: 1993–1995, 1998–2002, and 2007–2013. However, the MW level increases affected the wage levels positively for the low-wage group in only one period: 2007–2013. Second, MW levels have spillover effects, but the spillover effect was not visible during the three periods, despite changes in MW level range. Third, the results by the DID methods indicated that the effect of MW on the low-wage group was greater in the 2007–2013 period, but these effects were limited in the other two periods. Moreover, the spillover effects were proofed in the three periods by DID analysis.
